How about a nice game of chess?

Free Computer Version of Board and Card Games with Artificial Intelligence Computer Opponents and with Screen Shots is exactly what is says. Now those of you who've had their interest piqued by such games as Settlers of Catan or others mentioned in the Top 100 Boardgames thread can try games such as these without ponying up the thirty bucks for a big box of boards and pieces.

Why not just head straight for Brettspielwelt?

BrettspielWelt is klunky and yucky and predominantly German-language and a horrible way to learn to play games . But yeah, it's a lot of fun.

i lurk BBG sometimes, but the layout on there makes me miss stuff all the time. i'm glad that this one will not slip through the cracks on me.

Many thanks. I've found a game I've wanted for years (Kensington). Now I wonder if time would be found to play it, if I decide to actually buy it. These computers, they distract.
